P-Bruins 2, Devils 1

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rookies T.J. Trevelyan and David Krejci each scored a goal and Hannu Toivonen made 24 saves to help the Providence Bruins defeat the Lowell Devils 2-1 in American Hockey League action Sunday.
The Bruins (41-30-1-3) moved into third place in the Atlantic Division with 86 points, one point ahead of the idle Worcester Sharks who have 85. Lowell (36-27-5-6) remained in fifth place with 83 points.
Providence and Lowell have one game remaining against each other, on April 7. The top four teams in each division qualify for the Calder Cup playoffs.
Trevelyan scored his 26th goal of the season on a first-period power play. Another rookie, Sean Bentivoglio, dug the puck out of traffic in front of the net and passed to Trevelyan who tucked it inside the left post at 14:54.
Krejci added what proved to be the game-winner at 18:13 of the middle period, one second after a Lowell penalty expired. Lowell’s Frank Doyle (32 saves) blocked a shot by Nate Dempsey but Krejci stuffed home the rebound for his team-leading 30th goal of the season.
Chris Minard spoiled Toivonen’s bid for his second shutout of the season when he finished off a 2-on-1 rush with Tomas Harant at 6:15 of the third.
